​ Chenonceau Chateau The Interior

​ Chenonceau Chateau The Interior
A fireplace nearly as big as my cottage
​Well where do I start? This is the most beautiful Chateau I have ever visited. It's somehow got a homely feel even though it's so palatial and the guide book easily imparts its information as you take it all in.
It's bright due to all the windows and is beautifully preserved.
I could go on forever about how fabulous it is but I'll let the pictures speak for themselves with an added caption here and there.
